New Hawaiian Bible is online

Related to this earlier article on efforts to
publish an audio recording of the entire Hawaiian language Bible, the
Star-Bulletinreports
on the Baibala Hemolele Project, which expects to publish a hardcover New
Testament next year, and to have "the complete Bible ready to roll off the
presses by 2009." A team of editors are currently reviewing diacritical
pronunciation
marks.

The first Christian ministers arrived in Hawaii in 1820. With the help of Hawaiians explaining the nuances of their language, eight ministers worked for 15 years to translate the Bible. They weren't just doing a new version of the King James Bible, the prevailing translation of their day. The missionaries translated from the original Hebrew of the Old Testament and the Greek used in early New Testament text.

Their scholarship stands, said [project manager Jack] Keppeler. "We're not translating it again, we are just re-spelling it."
[...]
"The myth that the missionaries botched the language has proven not to be true," Keppeler said.

But
"there's no need to wait: Their work-in-progress is viewable at baibala.org. The entire 66 books of
the Protestant version of the Bible are available for scrutiny
there."
